Compulsive Excavation Device

Continuous Trap

Pay 1000 Life Points. Any monster sent to the Graveyard is shuffled into the Deck instead.

 

CnC would be lovely.

I can honestly say this will screw up several Decks if this were ever to be released. Probably more than what I have below, but some examples of relevant Decks.

• Lightsworns would be shut down indefinitely, so no more setup for JD unless they already did beforehand.
• Zombies are definitely screwed because their whole gimmick relies on the Graveyard.
• Shaddolls/BAs won't trigger (and I more/less dislike the latter because of how degenerate they can become, so I could honestly see this as an out)
• Infernoids get hit by this (well more on the lines of being shuffled into the Deck, so can't banish them for other members later)
• HEROs get hit somewhat, but more/less cutting off their Miracle Fusion plays and stuff like that.

 

So yeah, it is more/less a floodgate considering the Graveyard reliance nowadays.

Basically, it's like Skill Drain and those other things.

 

To be honest, I assumed this was going to be similar to CED (Compulsory); and if this card was a one-time use thing, might've been fine.

Not to mention, since Macro is ruled to banish pendulums despite not being sent to the grave anyway, Pendulums will be shuffled back into the deck, effectively making this card another D-Fissure. It's not at deadly as Fissure in decks that search up like crazy but it is horribly detrimental to any strategy that uses the graveyard as a resource.
